1
00:00:46,39 --> 00:01:37,31
The boy whose.

2
00:01:40,20 --> 00:01:45,77
Years and years it was always smoke over
these hoes fine morning. Good times.

3
00:01:47,61 --> 00:01:54,36
I've been mayor here for twenty twenty
years I'm a I've lived on the hill

4
00:01:54,36 --> 00:01:58,83
where I could watch the people men
and women who lived by machines

5
00:01:58,83 --> 00:01:59,96
and bought machine.

6
00:02:00,00 --> 00:02:00,56
Made good

7
00:02:01,73 --> 00:03:19,47
and slept Denver wake up
to go to the machine.

8
00:03:27,88 --> 00:03:31,61
I remember when those factories were
built. We were pretty happy about it.

9
00:03:32,60 --> 00:03:33,09
Concrete

10
00:03:33,10 --> 00:03:40,68
and glass is why it was like money in
the bank more machines more jobs thirty

11
00:03:40,69 --> 00:03:43,24
six million more minute work
in the last seventy years.

12
00:03:44,52 --> 00:03:46,50
Eighteen new industries in the country.

13
00:03:47,43 --> 00:03:54,40
Millions of new jobs automobiles
get radio man wanted

14
00:03:55,31 --> 00:04:01,03
man wanted. Well what about the
man. That's a complicated question.

15
00:04:02,61 --> 00:04:07,75
Sometimes the change was slow machinery
didn't always disturb our lives.

16
00:04:08,18 --> 00:04:13,28
The old jobs when there was
trouble but we got new jobs.

17
00:04:14,05 --> 00:04:18,74
Take Russell for example used to make
carriages live next door to me a good many

18
00:04:18,74 --> 00:04:23,34
years. He took to making
parts for Indians.

19
00:04:23,35 --> 00:04:28,50
A man with skilled hands like Tom can turn
them to another trade if the work is not

20
00:04:28,50 --> 00:04:30,42
too far different.

21
00:04:30,44 --> 00:04:35,87
Even the older man had not so much trouble
as you think some machines needed

22
00:04:35,87 --> 00:04:39,11
skilled men almost as many as before

23
00:04:40,77 --> 00:04:42,51
and this work was easier on the back

24
00:04:49,81 --> 00:04:53,05
or Bill Johansen used to be
a break but on the railroad

25
00:04:53,05 --> 00:04:55,36
that ran from the junction
across to our town.

26
00:04:56,69 --> 00:04:59,33
Now there's a bus runs right
alongside the old track.

27
00:05:00,55 --> 00:05:04,93
He was out of work about six months
now he's turning out parts for diesel

28
00:05:04,93 --> 00:05:09,78
that same engine that helped
put him out of his job.

29
00:05:09,79 --> 00:05:13,42
That's the way it was.

30
00:05:13,43 --> 00:05:19,56
And machines like this machine looms came
in pretty gradually everybody knew they

31
00:05:19,56 --> 00:05:19,93
were coming.

32
00:05:20,48 --> 00:05:26,93
Times a good minute a chance to look around
moved to another state move into our

33
00:05:26,93 --> 00:05:30,60
town because they heard about our new law.

34
00:05:30,62 --> 00:05:34,02
The steel rolling mill three thousand jobs

35
00:05:34,94 --> 00:05:37,76
and to ask you had to have strong arms

36
00:05:37,76 --> 00:05:43,49
and a hard nerve there it was money
for three thousand pounds of

37
00:05:44,87 --> 00:05:46,73
the machines brought life to our time.

38
00:06:03,59 --> 00:06:10,57
Goofball with

39
00:06:12,31 --> 00:06:19,07

52
00:07:46,52 --> 00:07:47,86
the

53
00:07:58,97 --> 00:07:59,86
good times make.

54
00:08:00,00 --> 00:08:05,56
Good Christmas make payrolls from the
steel mill the engine plant weaving mills

55
00:08:06,74 --> 00:08:08,59
plenty of money in town
that went to buy food

56
00:08:08,59 --> 00:08:11,93
and drove the same all over the country.

57
00:08:12,22 --> 00:08:18,99
Machines making cheaper goods a lot of them
a new kinds of products quite a few new

58
00:08:18,99 --> 00:08:23,20
stores to a lot of the young people
got silly jobs in those stores

59
00:08:23,20 --> 00:08:27,27
and clerical jobs in the
offices. Not so long ago either.

60
00:08:28,54 --> 00:08:33,23
My own youngest daughter got married.
A Christmas marriage. Right.

61
00:08:33,28 --> 00:08:37,89
All the church bells and. We thought
prosperity would last forever.

62
00:08:39,22 --> 00:08:43,90
We were able to buy good products shipped
from other industrial towns from

63
00:08:43,91 --> 00:08:45,10
everywhere in the US

64
00:08:46,05 --> 00:08:50,79
and we shipped our goods in return
the wheels kept going around.

65
00:10:06,74 --> 00:10:26,04
And then the wheels stop.

66
00:10:40,77 --> 00:10:42,49
We thought prosperity would last forever.

67
00:10:43,95 --> 00:10:49,39
Now it was over we hoped it would return.

68
00:10:49,41 --> 00:10:53,49
But the machines were idle a
long time. So little man.

69
00:10:55,17 --> 00:10:59,52
It wasn't the fault of the machines
we kept blame them for depression.

70
00:11:01,28 --> 00:11:07,85
In fact machines that often created
jobs but now there was depression.

71
00:11:09,62 --> 00:11:16,17
I never thought I'd see it snow on those
rollers two thirds of the town on release.

72
00:11:19,35 --> 00:11:20,50
Then when recovery began

73
00:11:21,85 --> 00:11:26,37
when there were orders for
steel again the old mill stage

74
00:11:26,37 --> 00:11:33,30
and the years have brought a new method
a new machine automatic high speed

75
00:11:33,30 --> 00:11:36,31
strip now for every thirty
men who worked before.

76
00:11:37,61 --> 00:11:42,04
Now there is one no more strain
on the back and shoulders.

77
00:11:43,13 --> 00:11:49,15
No more work for three thousand the
family is automatic high speed.

78
00:11:49,36 --> 00:11:54,28
Powerful accurate never
gets tired never gets sick.

79
00:12:49,97 --> 00:12:53,64
What am I going home for.

80
00:12:55,56 --> 00:13:02,54
What the devil am I going home.
The walk in the door. Say.

81
00:13:02,56 --> 00:13:06,89
No job again. That's what.

82
00:13:09,31 --> 00:13:16,20
Very is the old If you
haven't dealt with the

83
00:13:16,20 --> 00:13:22,22
bank and Jack along the way out
and trying to land a job there.

84
00:13:24,67 --> 00:13:25,54
Well I mean here.

85
00:13:26,84 --> 00:13:28,98
I'm trying to keep home

86
00:13:34,63 --> 00:13:40,61
and I gotta get out of this dump.

87
00:13:40,63 --> 00:13:45,22
Soon.

88
00:13:46,73 --> 00:13:49,94
He used to hang around together.

89
00:13:50,99 --> 00:13:51,88
Workin at the moon

90
00:13:53,46 --> 00:13:59,69
and now I can't stand them look
at them make their thinking.

91
00:14:00,00 --> 00:14:03,05
And I think when is

92
00:14:03,05 --> 00:14:07,44
that on a home burning when

93
00:14:07,45 --> 00:14:16,64
when there's nothing wrong
with me I can still work.

94
00:14:16,66 --> 00:14:22,17
Walk in the door. Some of the same
old things. I know that again.

95
00:14:23,43 --> 00:14:28,62
We've got to look at a rise again. I don't
want to go home. What am I going home.

96
00:14:30,38 --> 00:14:33,08
What the devil.

97
00:14:43,39 --> 00:14:44,20
I know

98
00:14:52,10 --> 00:14:58,35
I know I can see nothing. Down.

99
00:14:59,47 --> 00:15:04,16
Given the dinner anything
happens every day

100
00:15:06,39 --> 00:15:10,73
and if I said today we did
come back and tell me.

101
00:15:13,17 --> 00:15:13,81
Well forget it.

102
00:15:19,50 --> 00:15:56,97
I've been planning some of what does it.

103
00:16:41,78 --> 00:17:14,14
You.

104
00:18:04,03 --> 00:18:04,04
Or

105
00:18:04,05 --> 00:18:12,57
that they were living in the one below the

106
00:18:12,58 --> 00:18:16,21
age of machine gadgets something

107
00:18:17,84 --> 00:18:23,92
and age to wonder. All right.

108
00:18:26,09 --> 00:18:28,08
I'm wondering.

109
00:18:28,10 --> 00:18:38,13
One room is how much I can
do no more than trying.

110
00:00:00,00 --> 00:00:00,00


111
00:18:43,65 --> 00:19:53,10
The.

112
00:20:41,65 --> 00:20:47,17
Long as the old mill was there. We kept
on hoping we kept our eyes on them.

113
00:20:48,49 --> 00:20:52,04
Maybe they'll reopen maybe next month but

114
00:20:52,05 --> 00:20:54,15
when they cut those
smokestacks out of the sky.

115
00:20:55,77 --> 00:21:00,41
We had nothing to look at any more
decent fine work when every one of them.

116
00:21:00,99 --> 00:21:05,16
Their hands were trained. But
now that training is no good.

117
00:21:06,55 --> 00:21:10,00
They're no more than unskilled
men until they learn a new skill

118
00:21:11,47 --> 00:21:15,18
but why we're all good men
here and we know our jobs.

119
00:21:15,33 --> 00:21:19,35
Why are we finished because the
male can make the studio cheaper.

120
00:21:19,48 --> 00:21:20,53
I can make it cheaper

121
00:21:20,53 --> 00:21:24,80
but I can't make it as good as they
can make it is a good keeper and

122
00:21:26,01 --> 00:21:32,89
that would be like. What. A machine
to play for us out of work.

123
00:21:34,03 --> 00:21:36,91
Labor saving machines can make
more goods for a lot of people

124
00:21:38,02 --> 00:21:39,24
but the machines have come so fast

125
00:21:40,28 --> 00:21:42,71
that the displaced workers have
not been able to learn new skills

126
00:21:42,71 --> 00:21:44,99
and find other guy.

127
00:21:45,00 --> 00:21:50,76
Why should these men be thrown away as if
they were obsolete as if they were broken

128
00:21:50,76 --> 00:21:56,95
machines. I'm only twenty five years old.

129
00:21:57,26 --> 00:22:03,69
I'm not obsolete. Maybe we could get him
to bring some new factories into the city.

130
00:22:03,71 --> 00:22:07,32
I'm a spiel worker I worked in a mill
twenty years I couldn't go to work making

131
00:22:07,32 --> 00:22:09,46
radios or refrigerators but did get a job.

132
00:22:10,88 --> 00:22:12,95
It's the same way with
millions of trained men.

133
00:22:14,00 --> 00:22:17,91
It hit our town hard and suddenly
but it's not a local problem.

134
00:22:18,38 --> 00:22:23,89
Nothing is this is our town by itself can't
feed these men can't afford to retrain

135
00:22:23,89 --> 00:22:28,27
them. It's a bigger thing than one
mayor in one town can possibly him.

136
00:22:29,48 --> 00:22:31,78
It's a national problem.

137
00:22:31,80 --> 00:22:34,15
A man may be through it is old occupation

138
00:22:34,84 --> 00:22:39,81
but he still can retrain for another job
in the last ten years we've let our

139
00:22:39,81 --> 00:22:42,90
reservoir of skill run seriously low.

140
00:22:43,61 --> 00:22:46,54
Millions of workers have been
idle in each of these ten years.

141
00:22:47,47 --> 00:22:53,63
That means millions of man years of work
experience a lot of films allowed to rust.

142
00:22:55,45 --> 00:23:00,89
We've needed a retraining program for a
long time industries need machinists

143
00:23:00,89 --> 00:23:05,08
mechanics skilled workers of
every kind method to change.

144
00:23:05,10 --> 00:23:11,22
All right let's train the men for new
jobs. Let's teach them versatile skills.

145
00:23:13,72 --> 00:23:17,21
It's taken an emergency to get
us started on a nationwide scale

146
00:23:18,17 --> 00:23:22,62
but what we learned this year about the
problem about taking new skills to

147
00:23:22,62 --> 00:23:28,25
displaced workers could help a peacetime
economy as well as national defense.

148
00:23:29,92 --> 00:23:34,40
We need claims men more than
ever today schools in our town

149
00:23:34,40 --> 00:23:36,82
and hundreds of others are
training men for new jobs.

150
00:23:37,48 --> 00:23:42,76
The men who worked in the old steel
mills and learned to handle then drill.

151
00:23:42,78 --> 00:23:47,27
The men who knew one operation and
be trained for a wider usefulness.

152
00:23:47,83 --> 00:23:51,52
We're meeting a crisis now government

153
00:23:51,53 --> 00:23:57,07
and industry are working together to retrain
these men when the crisis is passed.

154
00:23:57,97 --> 00:24:03,18
Let's remember what they've learned. New
automatic processes will keep on coming.

155
00:24:03,48 --> 00:24:10,45
We need them. But let's
keep the workers of today.

156
00:24:10,47 --> 00:24:13,92
Let's keep their skills as
modern as the new machines.
